The "All-America Award" the city bought and paid for in 2014 did zilch.
Only a dozen or so recognize the city as the "Bike Capital of the RGV," despite the Rose Gowen-chaired BCIC spending $7,000 in taxpayer dollars to advertise that "fact" in the lobby of the Harlingen airport.
But, the audio recording of a young, Democrat city commissioner, uttering racial epithets, has changed all that. Brownsville is on the map, in the national media, albeit in a very negative way.
In near parallel to how many citizens reject President Trump's racism, many Brownsville residents are saying "Cesar de Leon is not MY commissioner!"
Attorney Michael Cowen |
must be noted that the released 4-1/2 audio tape also contained negative comments from Cesar about Michael's uncle, Philip Cowen, a BISD trustee.)
Tuesday's city commission meeting, commences at 6:00 PM, after the completion of an Executive Session, in chambers on the 2nd floor of the U.S. Post Office on Elizabeth Street. There are several story lines of interest:
City Manager Charlie Cabler will resign or not.
City Commissioner Cesar de Leon will resign or not.
There is also the greatly anticipated release of an audit of the Fire Department and EMS.(Commissioner Tetreau-Kalifa has hinted the audit may contain dramatic information.)
Mary Helen Flores |
If that is not enough excitement, those attending the city commission meeting will likely pass through a Cesar de Leon Must Resign from our City Commission protest organized by Mary Helen Flores of Citizens Against Voter Abuse(CAVA). The protest is scheduled for 5:00 PM.
Mary Helen? Let she without sin.... (and give me a break)
ReplyDeleteYou're little wee wee didn't sucked, four eyed baldy?
DeleteWho signed it?
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with protecting his family's honor for the bull shit Cesar the racist commissioner said about Philip.
ReplyDeleteFuck this BULLSHIT!! Do NOT resign Cesar!! Let he who is without sin pick up the first stone. There isn't going to be one person capable of that. We are all sinners and if people are honest most have uttered a racial slur. This freaking recording revealed way the FUCK MORE than the "N" word. Focusing on that small unfortunate use of a word will keep this backwards city in the depths of CORRUPTION!! GET the FUCK over it already!
ReplyDeleteIt should be an interesting meeting, Jim. Will it be enough to peel you off your ugly couch and ditch that romantic TV Dinner with Nena?
ReplyDeleteFortunately, Duardo, Nena and I don’t eat the shit you eat. And, don’t worry about the meeting as my peeps will be there and both have a license to carry in case trouble breaks out.
DeleteYeah, good idea. Every time someone does something abhorrent lets just get over it. Much better then doing anything about it. Of course, if you are going to do this you better like things the way they are because they won't be changing.
ReplyDeleteQuit focusing on the FUCKING racial slur!! If that is what you idiots are the most concerned with after listening to the recording. Well guess what.... you are acting like the word you all are making a big deal out of.... IGNORANT!! Stupid ass people look at the big picture!! Wtf..... Nigger please....hahaha
ReplyDeleteSo out of over 183 thousand people 312 of them do not want De Leon, who cares? Majority rules, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's right keep de Leon!! Fire Elizondo and Cabler!!
ReplyDeleteWe should ALSO have a demonstration to demand an investigation into all the corruption de Leon spoke about 99.9 % of the recording, it's the pea under the shell. Racism? We have the garden variety, rich/poor racism. And we used to have the Heat of the Night racism because gringos "founded" Brownsville. Hey, gringos were the ones raising hell in 1906 about the black soldiers stationed here... not us. We just said welcome to our world. Most of the gringo masters and their scions, a lone Stillman notwithstanding, packed up and left awhile back. And Mexicans really don't have racism against blacks because we would look silly putting down a race, as Muhammad Ali said, that's done nothing to us. We hardly ever have any blacks because the armpit is full and the blacks we do have are Veracruz blacks, like the old beat cop and the old police chief, and they were more like Cuban blacks and you never noticed any shade to them because they spoke Spanish and sounded just like anybody else. They did have some big hands, though. Little Cesar De Leon is guilty of being a punk and unless he got the shit beat up by some "brothers" and therefore hates a whole race, de Leon just wanted to growl like a grown male lion. The idiot shoulda gotten a pair of Nike Cortezes and a teardrop tatoo if he wanted to look tough. Not only is he jodido pero tambien pendejo.
